The dermal fillers gels I use at There You Glow have lidocaine in them to ensure that clients are more comfortable during and after the treatment. A topical numbing cream is also applied to the area before treatment.

With Anti-wrinkle treatments, numbing cream can be used on request, but it’s generally not required as the injections are very superficial and with a tiny needle.

Dermal fillers: There can be redness, swelling and bruising at the site of injection. It can feel a little lumpy for a few days. This will settle.

Anti-wrinkle treatment: There can be redness, swelling and bruising at the site of injection. You might have a headache later in the day – just treat with paracetamol.

As with all medical treatments, however safely performed, there are risks. You will be fully informed of the risks and given time to ask any questions during the consent process.

Dermal fillers and skin rejuvenation you can see the effects immediately although there will be a little swelling which will settle in a day or two.

Anti-wrinkle treatments take about a week to take effect.

Dermal fillers in the cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, chin and jaw last about 12-24 months, lips about 6-9 months.

Anti-wrinkle treatment will last about 3-6 months.

No, but the medical questionnaire you will complete beforehand will let me know of any allergies, medications or conditions you do have that we might need to discuss further.

I advise you not to drink alcohol or take Ibuprofen within the preceding 24hours of your appointment, as this can increase the risk of bruising.

• Avoid makeup the day of your treatment
• Avoid alcohol and vigorous exercise for 48 hours following your treatment.
